Re: Basket Talk

It's the end of week 3 and teams should have a good idea of how they are going to shoot the balls. This past Thur. we started prototyping how to deliver the balls to the shooter. From test firing, it appears that the presentation of the ball to the shooter is important for consistency. So the question is - How are teams feeding the shooter from storage?. Normally I prefer belt feed ammo. If I can't have belt feed give me a magazine. Last choice a revolver. However, after looking at the design constraints we've chosen the revolver ball feeder design one of the student drew. So how is your team going to feed the shooter.
